2226 The third young lady of the Feng family
Fatty Wang had thought it through last night. Because he admired Gu shouxin, he had heard about the Gu family and knew that Gu Xin had helped the capital Governor and the Supreme Court solve three cases.....
The Emperor could directly send her to Thailand to investigate the Donglin royal family. No matter what, she was still an official!
When he worked for Gu Xin, he gave himself the title of the most capable helper of the princess.
They were familiar with each other the day before yesterday, and he took office yesterday. Wasn’t today his second day in office?
After returning to the temple, Gu Xin went straight to the main hall. The abbot had just finished his morning lesson with the monks and was about to rush over when he heard the commotion. Gu Xin stopped the abbot and took out her token, ” “Master, I’m the princess of the state, Gu Xin. I’m here to investigate a case. Now that there’s been a murder in your temple, I hope that Grandmaster can cooperate and let me make the decision.”
The monks were shocked. After the abbot saw Gu Xin’s token, he put his hands together and shouted, ” “This poor monk greets Your Highness. From now on, everyone in Xi Yun temple will follow princess’s orders.”
Gu Xin nodded her head, ” alright. Great master Abbot, please get the Masters in charge of each house to clear out all the disciples in the house. After that, send someone to maintain order among the visitors. I’m going to see who’s in trouble.”
Gu Xin heard a woman’s voice. She didn’t think that the monks in the temple had died, so she was sure that one of the visitors had died.
The abbot let master Hui Yuan and the two young monks, who were in charge of General Affairs, accompany Gu Xin.
After they left the main hall, they didn’t need to ask at all to know which family was in trouble. The visitors had already woken up by this time and came out when they heard the commotion. They looked over and saw that the wing room where the Feng family lived was surrounded by people.
Gu Xin brought Zheng Qiu and Dong Xue in and revealed their identities.
The Feng family didn’t believe it, but master Qin recognized Gu Xin and immediately confirmed Gu Xin’s identity to Feng Hill-elder’s wife, Madam Yun.
Only then did Madam Yun let Gu Xin and the other two in with a bitter face.
As the head of the Feng family’s rear residence, she naturally had the final say when she brought her siblings, daughters, and nieces out.
Because everything happened too quickly, Gu Xin arrived before she could send someone to leave Qiyun temple to report.
Gu Xin entered the room where the incident happened, paused for a moment and said to Madam Yun, ” “Madam Feng, I’ve already ordered people to guard the two entrances and exits of the temple. I’ve sent someone down the mountain to report the case to the Yamen. You don’t need to send anyone back. I believe that Lord Liu will send someone to inform Mountain Leader Feng.”
Madam Yun frowned when she heard this. However, Gu Xin’s status was high, so she did not dare to say anything.
The layout of the rooms in Xi Yun temple was almost the same. There was a round table and a few Round Stools in one room. There was a desk by the window and a bed in the corner. The bed was not big and could only fit two people at most.
In this room lived the daughter of the Feng family’s second branch, miss Feng San.
Third miss Feng’s hands were crossed on her abdomen. Her face was pale and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. At this moment, third miss Feng’s mother, second Madam Feng, was wailing at the side of the bed. She shook third miss Feng, as if she was trying to wake her up.
Lady Feng, Madam Yun, asked two old maids to help second lady Feng up so that Gu Xin could take a good look at her. In the end, second lady Feng refused to move no matter what she said. She only held onto third lady Feng’s already stiff hand and ignored her.
